High Wire
I've been livin too long
on the outside
I've been workin for a song
on the inside
I dreamed i was walkin on a high wire
Someone was there just to watch me fall
Now i'm flat broke sittin here
cryin about nothin at all
high
high wire
on a high high
high wire
You said "Tell me, Mister man
just how far
are we gonna go?"
I said "Baby hold on tight
and I'll tell you
just as soon as I know."
We were walkin on a high wire
I'm so glad you decided to fall
Now I'm foolish and happy
and laughin bout nothin at all
Walkin on a high
high wire
on a high
high wire

How Do You Sleep At Night
Hey baby, how do you sleep at night ?
Hey baby, how do you sleep at night ?
Worked all my life for money
but it never seemed to pay
Lately I've been thinkin
I just gave my life away
gave my life away
How do you sleep at night?
Hey baby, how do you sleep at night?
Meanwhile down in the hobo jungle
we're all dreamin by the railroad tracks of love
waitin for the train to come
earth below and the stars above
Should I call another lawyer?
maybe make another will?
should I get a new telephone number
one that you'll never call, no you never will
How do you sleep at night?
Lady In The Window
In a chair by the window
lady is crying
cause we're tired of each other
and tired of lying
and I wish there was some other way
but I've thought and I've thought
and there's nothing more to say
Her clothes in my closet
shoes on the floor
her gifts and books and flowers
all these and more
yet I know this game just can't go on
cause it hurts her so bad when I'm lying
Your face was always like sunlight in my eyes
I had no reason to start telling you lies
In a chair by the window
lady is crying
cause we're tired of each other
and tired of lying
and love is still a word that I don't know how to use
though I'm empty and angry from trying
Your face was always like sunlight in my eyes
I had no reason
to start
telling you lies

Letters From Africa
(D.Fougère/Nicole Fougère)
Letters from Africa, letters from Africa
I don't know why I came here
What do I really need?
The clouds bow their heads and kiss the ground.
Green velvet mountains
cascade in all directions
A throne for the sun.
Letters from Africa, letters from Africa
May the stars rotate wisely
and the green earth grow smaller
and the sky be as open
as a great blue eye
Elle est partie
mon jolie petit bateau
parcourir le monde
Elle est partie
mon joli pettit bateau
mon petit jolie bateau
Lullaby du Vieux Garcon
(The old boy's lullaby)
Somewhere in the heart of Winter
You remembered that you loved me.
I was taken by surprise.
Tried to read what was in your eyes
and I felt like it was Spring
I came home laughing, I was feelin fine
I'd just been out for a glass of wine.
I Called your number, I guess I lost my head.
You said you were just about to go to bed
But we laughed until it was late
Please say it isn't
just for old time's sake
I hope it isn't just for old time's sake
Not for old time's sake.
Why am I feeling this tenderness?
It was just a rainbow, It was just a kiss.
Why am I still falling towards your lips?
Oh... let these walls come down
Let them come down
And say it isn't
just for old time's sake
I hope it isn't just for old time's sake
I couldn't take it.
Not for old time's sake.
