She turned down the captain
When he came around to score
She said her heart was promised to
A midshipman from Baltimore

He offered her his mansion
He offered her his gold
But she slipped away to a lonely place
With no man's hand to hold

Still sweet Ophelia
I feel your love reach out
Across the miles of ocean
There can be no doubt

The lawyer's means were modest
He brought her Danish wine
And an heirloom necklace of cultured
Pearls from down his family line

But all of his advances
Her heart was cold as stone
She said, "Sir before I'd accept your gifts,
I'll walk these bowery streets alone"

Still sweet Ophelia
I feel your love reach out
Across the miles of ocean
There can be no doubt

Still sweet Ophelia
I feel your love reach out
Across the miles of ocean
There can be no doubt

Some say she died of fever
Up in her attic room
Some tell me that she hung herself
In a ?

I heard she sealed the windows
And never lit the stove
But I like to dream she drowned herself
On a ?

Still sweet Ophelia
I feel your love reach out
Across the miles of ocean
There can be no doubt

Look what you're doin', I'm losin' my mind
My head's in a ruin, leavin' me behind
It hurts to believe you could treat me so cruel
Pick me up, put me down, make me look like a fool

Keep me waiting, you got me hangin' and hangin'
Keep me waiting, I don't wanna leave you
Keep me waiting, hangin' and hangin' and hangin'
Keep me waiting, well don't leave me hangin', girl

Look what you're doin', I'm losin' this time
I thought you were true and I see I was blind
It hurts to believe you could treat me so cruel
Pick me up, put me down, make me look like a fool

Keep me waiting, you keep me waiting and waiting
Keep me waiting, give a little piece of mind, girl
Keep me waiting, you got me hangin' on the outside, ahh

It doesn't matter what you do or say
I know goodbye is coming any day
It doesn't matter what you do or say
I know goodbye is coming any day
It doesn't matter what you do or say
I know goodbye is coming any day

Keep me waiting, Keep me waiting
Keep me waiting, Keep me waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Keep me waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting

I remember the times I was lonely without her
Now she's mine and I spend my times dreamin' about her

Love her all I can and try to understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never, never sad

She's so easy to please and it doesn't take money, no, no
We can have a good time when the skies aren't sunny

Ah, love her all I can and try and understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never, never sad

I remember the times I was lonely without her
Now she's mine and I spend my time dreamin' about her
Whoo

I love her all I can and try and understand
The things that make her glad
The things that make her sad
I'm a lucky guy, I hardly ever cry
And when the world looks bad
She's never, never sad

While walking down the street one day
Celebrating Friday the 13th in May
Then I met a simple type who started to fight

I said hey, can't you find a way
And do you have to keep on fighting this way
Some say it's going to be today
The world is gonna end and you're fighting this way
Can't you find yourself before that day

The streets where full with people in life
Looking over one another' shoulder to see
Trapping one another without sympathy

I said hey, can't find a way
And do you have to keep on fighting this way
They say it's going to be today
The world is gonna end and you're fighting this way
Oh, can't you find yourself before that day

I said hey, can't you find a way
And do you have to keep on fighting this way
Some say it's going to be today
The world is gonna end and you're fighting this way
So, can't you find yourself before that day

While walking down the street one day
Celebrating Friday the 13th in May
Then I met a simple type who started to fight
I said hey

She walks by moonlight
No one really knows
Enchanted starlight
Never goin' home

I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good

Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes

I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good

Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes

I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good

Nothing much worth takin'
Only years of things to leave behind
Mama, quit your cryin'
Don't be tellin' me I've lost my mind

Now I'm tired of making good and feeling bad
When I came to this morning, it came to me I had

Too many Mondays in my life
Too many mornings when I hate to see the light
Too many Mondays, they keep coming 'round too soon
A too too free and easy Sunday afternoon

All the things that come and knock me down
All the time we're making
Have to see above the working line

And there's something there I don't know why
The more I think about it the more I know I've got

Too many Mondays in my life
Too many mornings when I hate to see the light
Too many Mondays, they keep coming 'round too soon
A too too free and easy Sunday afternoon

When I saw sweet tomorrow
Tuggin' at my sleeve
Mother don't you see
They're calling me, calling me
Got to believe it

Too many Mondays in my life
Too many mornings when I hate to see the light
Too many Mondays, they keep coming 'round too soon
A too too free and easy Sunday afternoon

Too many Mondays in my life
Too many Mondays in my life
Too many Mondays in my life
Too many Mondays in my life
Too many Mondays in my life
Too many Mondays in my life

What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day
What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day

Oh,there's a man from the country
Who works in the city
He has a good family
But his life is a pity
He loves his lady very much

He keeps in the city
Unknown to his family
A fine secretary
And they keep in touch, hello people

What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day
What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day

You better be true to your baby
Make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself

Well, there's a man who's romantic
Who every chance he gets
With so many young ladies
Whenever his sweetheart ain't around

They made plans to be married
But if she knew what was happening
Sweetheart could surely bring them down

What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day
What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day

You better be true to your lady
Make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself

If you don't love that woman, just tell her so
And if you need more love than she could give
Let her know

Or if you feel that you love her, but your love becomes
A routine

Well lying and your cheating
For the love that you've been keeping
But it ain't the thing, no it ain't the thing

What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day, reach the light of day
What happens in the darkness
Will surely reach the light of day

You better be true to your lady
Make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself

You better be true to your lady
Make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself

Too many people been sleeping too long
While the world is wakin' up
The alarm is sounding oh, all around
Wake up, wake up

It's ringing out a warning
'Cause the line is forming
Getting plain to see

You know you got to listen
We can't pretend it isn't
Talking to you and me

Too many people been talking too long
Now the streets are filling up
If you hear screaming
Lord, your not dreaming
Wake up, wake up

It's ringing out a warning
'Cause the line is forming
Getting plain to see

You know we got to listen
We can't pretend it isn't
Talking to you and me

When the bell rings
It's ringing out a warning
When the bell rings
'Cause the line is forming
Getting plain to see

When the bell rings
You know you got to listen
When the bell rings
We can't pretend it isn't
Talking to you and me

When the bell rings

Molly, my friend, can you lend
Me an hour of your living
Molly, my pal, you're my gal
And I'm happy to give in

Goin' 'round the bend
And we'll reach the end some other day

Are you aware that I care
And I dare say I need you
And I can tell very well
What you're feeling for me too

Goin' 'round the bend
And we'll reach the end some other day

Goin' 'round the bend
And we'll reach the end some other day
Do, do, do
Some other way, yeah
Do, do, do

 Do you find it hard to tell me
 To tell me that you really love me
 'Cause I find it hard to tell you
 To tell you that I really love you

And I know what's in your heart
In your mind, in your body and your soul
But I hear it when we whisper
Not letting people know

We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not to show

We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not to show

I've got something, you've got nothing
A child, a home of my own
And it's so hard for me to break it
I can't break it, I can't make it on my own

We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not to show

We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not to show

We want to shout it out loud
But we can't let people know
We want to shout it out loud
But our love is not to show

I was born in the middle of the night
And my mama raised a little boy
On the banks of the old Foxy River
In a little town in Illinois

I was taught to believe in the Lord
Yeah, even when the times got rough
And though I do the best I can do
Some times it ain't good enough

And it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there

My grandfather was a railroad man
And he worked with a shovel in his hand
He was one of the men who was sweating his way
Across the motherland

And when he talked about the great depression
He said he hope he'd never see that day
But it seems that as good as I'm doin'
It won't be too far away

And it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there
And it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there

And it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there
Yes it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there

I often wondered where the big trains went
As they were quickly fading out of sight
They would carrying the dreams of the people
Out into the night

Yes I wondered where the big trains went
So I thought I would ride along
Carrying my thoughts out into the night
And it's singing my song

And it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there
Yes it's a long, long road to somewhere
And it's a long, long time till we get there
