All lyrics from http://reilly.szm.com/index.htm {an unofficial Maggie Reilly website} Maggie Reilly: SAVE IT FOR A RAINY DAY --------------------- 1. Do You Really Want To Leave Me This Way We're talking like strangers Without any echoes Some desolate shadows Some haunted souls I'm acquainted with heaven But related to hell Not got no more bargains I've got nothing to say And when we see the truth Then our lie's Breaking hearts with the smile that cries That's when I need you Do you really want to leave me this way Is there really nothing left we can say Do you want to see me break down and cry Do you really want to leave me this way Is there really nothing left we can say Do you want to see me break down and cry Our love, that will never die I walk like a shadow On some distant shore And I'm out of the town Full of feels and hopes At the end of the season It's the end of the game And from the end of the alley Hear me call out your name When I hear the truth Then our lie's Breaking hearts with the smile that cries That's when I need you Do you really want to leave me this way Is there really nothing left we can say Do you want to see me break down and cry Do you really want to leave me this way Is there really nothing left that I can say And will I break down and cry Our love, that will never die Repeat chorus twice --------------------- 2. Forget About It Forget about it I'm admittin' I was wrong So I'll just take what's mine And walk right out the door Forget about it I'll split, I'll be gone And you'll have memories You'll find hard to ignore Cause after all I'll see you sometime, baby When I won't recall Just why you drove me crazy Forget about it When forever's over I won't remember how much I loved you anymore Forget about it Put me out of your head Now that you're free and easy Out there on the town Forget about it When you're laying in your bed And you are wishing I was there To lay you down Cause after all I'll see you sometime maybe And you'll recall The way that I drove you crazy Forget about those starry nights Laying by the fireside, holding you tight Can't remember when I felt so alive so Forget about it Forget about it When you see me on the street Don't wink, don't wave Don't try to tease me with your smile Forget about it If we chance to meet somewhere Don't think it's cause I'm trying to reconcile Cause after all I'll see you sometime maybe When I won't recall Just how you drove me crazy Forget about those starry nights Laying by the fireside, holding you tight Do you remember when I felt so alive so Forget about it --------------------- 3. These Dreams Spare a little candle, save some light for me Figures up ahead moving in the trees White skin in a linen, perfume on my wrist Full moon that hangs over these dreams in the mist Darkness on the edge, shadows where I stand I search for the time on a watch with no hands I want to see you clearly, come closer than this All I remember are dreams in the mist These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away Is it clockin' dagger, could it be spring or fall I walk without a cut through a stain glass wall Weaker in my eyesight, the candle in my grip And words that have no form are falling from my lips Repeat chorus The sweetest song is silence that I've ever heard It's funny how your feet in dreams never touch the earth In a wood full of princes, freedom is a kiss But the prince hides his face from these dreams in the mist Repeat chorus twice --------------------- 4. Goin' Back I think I'm goin' back To the things I learned so well in my youth I think I'm returning to Those days when I was young enough to know the truth Now there are no games to only pass the time No more colouring books, no Christmas bells to chime But thinking young and growing older, that's no sin And I can play the game of life to win I can recall the time When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend And now I think I've got A lot more than my skipping rope to lend Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide And every day can be a magic carpet ride And I can play hide-and-seek with my fears And live my days instead of counting my years So let everyone debate the true reality I'd like to see the world the way that it used to be A little bit of courage, that's all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back A little bit of freedom is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back I think I'm goin' back... --------------------- 5. Birds Lover, there will be another one To hover over you beneath the sun Tomorrow, see the things that never come today When you see me fly away without you Shadow on the things you know Feathers fall around you And show you the way to go It's over, it's over... Nestle in your wings, my little one The special morning brings another sun Tomorrow, see the things that never come today Repeat chorus --------------------- 6. True Colours You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged though I realize It's so hard to take courage In a world for the people You can lose sight of it And the darkness inside you Makes you feel so small I see your true colours shining through Your true colours, that's why I love you Don't be afraid to let them show Your true colours, true colours How beautiful, like a rainbow Give us a smile Don't be unhappy, can't remember when I last saw you laughing This world can make you crazy When you take in all that you can When you call me up You know I'll be there I see your true colours shining through Your true colours, that's why I love you No, don't be afraid, just let them show Your true colours, true colours How beautiful, like a rainbow And I last see you laughing I see your true colours, shining through Your true colours, that's why I love you Don't be afraid, no, you let them show Your true colours, true colours They are beautiful like a rainbow --------------------- 7. Save It For A Rainy Day Well, he's a kind of pretty Drives a big car too When he holds me in his arms I don't know what to do He's got everything he needs What does he need me for? A crazy fool Comin' back for more I know he's no good Can't leave but I know I should Everybody says: "Watch that boy. He'll break your heart like it was a toy." You'd better save it Save it for a rainy day And you'd better save it Save it for a rainy day Well, I'd leave in a minute If I only could But he touches me And it feels so good My heart's in his hands This is sure a mess No way say no When he says: "Yes, oh, yes" Take me and shake me Tell me this ain't a dream Everybody says: "Watch that boy. He'll break your heart like it was a toy." Repeat chorus --------------------- 8. If You Leave Me Now If you leave me now You'll take away the biggest part of me No, baby please don't go If you leave me now You'll take away the very heart of me No, baby please don't go I want you to stay A love like ours is love that's hard to find How could we let it slip away We've come too far to leave it all behind How could we end it all this way When tomorrow comes We'll both regret things we'll say today A love like ours is love that's hard to find How could we let it slip away We've come too far to leave it all behind How could we end it all this way When tomorrow comes We'll both regret things we'll say today If you leave me now You'll take away the biggest part of me No, baby please don't go Boy, got I have you close to me No, baby please don't go Baby please don't go --------------------- 10. Close Your Eyes The sun is slowly sinking down But the moon surely rises So this old world must still be spinning around Oh, and I still love you So close your eyes You can close your eyes It's all right I don't know the love songs I can't sing the blues anymore Oh, but I can sing this song And you can sing this song When I'm gone It won't be long before another day Hey, we're gonna have a good time And no one's gonna take that time away You can stay as long as you like Repeat chorus --------------------- 11. So Far Away So far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know You're just time away Long ago I reached for you and there you stood Holding you again could only do me good How I wish I could But you're so far away One more song about movin' along the highway I can't say much of anything that's new And if I could only work this life out my way I'd rather spend it bein' close to you But you're so far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It would be so, so fine to see your face at my door It doesn't help to know You're so far away Travelin' around it gets me down and lonely There's nothin' else to do but close my mind But I sure hope these roads don't come to own me Yet so many dreams that I've yet to find But you're so far away Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore It would be so fine to see your face at my door And it doesn't help to know You're so far away Oh, you're so far away... Oh, you are just time away You are so... --------------------- 12. Angel Of The Morning There'll be no strings to bind your hands If my love can't bind your heart And there's no need to take a stand It was I who chose to part I see no need to take me home I'm old enough to face the dark alone Call me angel of the morning Touch my cheek before you leave me Call me angel of the morning Then slowly turn away from me Maybe the sun's light will be dim It won't matter anyhow If morning's echo says we've sinned It was what I wanted now And if we're victims of the night I won't be blinded by the light Call me angel of the morning Touch my cheek before you leave me Call me angel of the morning Then slowly turn away I won't beg you to stay with me And if we're victims of the night We won't be blinded by the light Call me angel of the morning Touch my cheek before you leave Call me angel of the morning Touch me before you leave You call me angel of the morning Touch my cheek before you leave me Call me angel of the morning Touch me before you leave Then slowly turn away I won't ask you to stay with me Slowly turn away I won't beg you to stay ==================================={End Of file}
