I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they’re blowing?

As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there’s nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
There’s nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we’re going?

No care in the world
Maybe I’m learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there’s nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
No, there’s nothing

No where nor why
No care nor cry
No where no sign
So rare so fine

The way I see it
This relationship ain’t right
The space between us
Listen here listen
Better close it up tonight

No where nor why
No care nor cry
No where no sign
So rare so fine

The space between us
Close it up tonight

No where no sign
So fair so fine

The way I see it
This relationship ain’t right
The space between us
Listen here listen
We better close it up tonight

Now the party’s over
I’m so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication
In a motion
Without conversation
Or a notion

Avalon

When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture’s changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don’t know it

Avalon

When you bossa nova
There’s no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere?

(Instrumental)

All of those people
Everywhere
Ever so needing
Where’s it all leading?
Tell me where
Nothing insincere

I’d better have pity
I’d better go easy
I never will lay down
While my heart is still beating

Where’s it all leading?
Walk on air
Am I still dreaming
Where’s it all leading?
Words to spare
Lost in their meaning

I’d better be strong now
I’d better stop dreaming
My heart has flown away now
Will it never stop bleeding?

Look at my hand
There’s a soul on fire
You can lead me even higher
It’s the main thing

Everybody knows
There’s a good thing gone
You can really turn me on
It’s the main thing

You burn through here
With your words of sand
I can nearly understand
It’s the main thing

As they say, two can play
But keep that song away from me
In my time, too much love
Has made me sad for so long

I was lost, can’t you see?
Through the long lonely night
Heaven knows, I believe
Won’t you take a chance with me?

Sometimes I get so blue
People say I’m just a fool
All the world, even you
Should learn to love the way I do

I was blind, can’t you see
Through the long lonely night
Heaven knows, I believe
Won’t you take a chance with me?

So it gets to seven and I think of nothing
But living in darkness
And the diamond lady, well she’s not telling
I don’t even know her name

It’s amazing, times have changed
In days of old
Imagination’d leave you standing
Out in the cold

Dancing city, now you’re talking
But where’s your soul?
You’ve a thousand faces
I’ll never know

There are complications compensating
If you know the game
Agitated in Xenon nightly
I’ll take you home again

Travel way downtown in search of nothing
But the sky at night
And the diamond lady, well she’s not talking
Hey, that’s alright
So I turn the pages, tell the story
From town to town
People tell me be determined
Poor country boy

But too much luck and too much trouble
Much time alone
And arm in arm with my seaside diamond
I’ll soon be home

I could show you in a word
If I wanted to
A window on a world
With a lovely view
From close up inside a single room
With an open book aside
Like you read in school

It’s so easy, believe me
When you need fun
I’d do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on

Is it raining in New York
Down Fifth Avenue
And off Broadway after dark
Love the lights, don’t you?
I could walk you through the park
If you’re feeling blue
Or whatever

Spring, Summer, whenever
Winter through Fall
I’d do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on

I would leave you as you were
If I wanted to
Then I wonder is it fair?
Now you’re on your own
Who cares about you
Except me, God help me
When things go wrong

I’d do anything to turn…
You must phone me, you know me
When things go wrong
I’d do anything to turn you on

(Instrumental)
