Can, can you spare some conversation
Can, can you spare some conversation

I need a yellow taxi cab today
I need your taxi cab to take me away
I need a yellow taxi cab today
So take us, driver, take us far away

I need someone like you
Someone to see me through

People looking happy
While sadly I wait for my taxi

She was standing next to me
I looked alone she took me home
In her arms I laid my head
She listened to everything I said

I need someone like you
Someone to talk to

I need a yellow taxi cab today
I need your taxi cab to take me away
I need a yellow taxi cab today
So take us driver take us far away

I need someone like you
Someone to see me through

Can, can you spare some conversation
Can, can you spare some conversation

I'm standing out here all alone
I need someone to take me home
She was standing next to me
There's room for you and room for me

I need someone like you
Someone to talk to

And we shared some conversation
And we shared some conversation

Astair your glare is killing me
Astair in skies of blue
The signs you wear are making me
So confused

But the mountains and the trees
Are they just what you need
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see

And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now now
Before you turn around

Astair you're there and I'm still here
I swear I'm so confused
The signs you wear are making me
Feel like I'm the one to lose

But the canyons and the seas
Are they just what you need
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see

And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now, now

Before you turn around

But the mountains and the trees
Are they what you perceive
Or are they less than what
You'd expect to see

And if you're leaving well come
Give me reason why I let you down
Before you turn around now, now
Before you turn around

Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head
Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid
So please forgive the words I use, my mind it tends to run
Away with the small ideas, I know I'm not the only one

So dear, oh dear
My head it tends to stray away sometimes I cant see clear
Oh dear, oh dear
In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near

Sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours
Sometimes I'm not that sure
But anytime you look at me
Your thoughts I cant ignore
The second hand would pass us by
Should one of us had blinked
But in a minute realize that true love always waits

My dear, oh dear
My head it tends to stray away, sometimes I cant see clear
Oh dear, oh dear
In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near

Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head
Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid
So please forgive the words I use my mind it tends to run
Away with the small ideas I know I'm not the only one

I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear
I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass just to stay pure

All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say
I've got jackets blankets and sheets, its going to be a cold december

It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see
I couldnt see

If only time could slow down, maybe I could come up
It's such a cold december
It's such a cold december
Its so cold

I cant fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass just to stay pure

Summers come and summer has gone
Your christmas cards cant comfort me
You've found new friends and tied all the ends
It's freezing in the loneliest winter

It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldnt see
I couldnt see

If only time could slow down, then maybe I could come up
It's such a cold december
It's such a cold december
It's so cold

You can count your friends for a little while
And you can make them seem like they're all worthwhile

Looking at the children and all of them worth
Making my decisions based on last minute calls I plea

But the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real

Down on a south is where you can find him
Counting the days left to fulfill his omens

Turning at the ends of the unfinished corners
Opening of dreams left of untidy fallacy

But the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real

Ticking away soon you will find that
Under the sand lies all of your ends mend

But if you come across the one who defies him
Be careful not to fall in the eyes of temptation

Cause the devil wouldn't like it if you stabbed him in the back
Dancing with desire's only fling
Making my decision, I headed for the seams
Exiting only to find my dreams
Were real

My sweet rose
As the two of us grow
I want you to know that nothing's quite as bad
As it seems when you're so sad
So remember my rose, remember my rose

My sweet rose
I'd like to say
I'd like to say no one always gets their way
And no one always thinks the same
My rose, remember my rose

When the seasons change
And the sky turns grey
When the leaves turn brown
I'll be around

My sweet rose
As the two of us change
I want you to know that nothing stays the same
But you and I, we will remain
My rose, remember my rose

When the seasons change
And the sky turns grey
When the leaves turn brown
I'll be around

I want you to know that nothing stays the same
But you and I, we will remain
My rose, remember my rose

Sunshine
I'd really like to tell you
Oh my sunshine
Even though your skies are blue
You're drying up my bed
How can I get any rest now?
Sha la la la la la la la

Someday
You will get the best of me
Oh someday
Probably when I'm old and grey
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now
Sha la la la la la la la

Sunshine
I'd really like to tell you
Oh my sunshine
Even though your skies are blue
You're drying up my bed
How can I get any rest now?
Sha la la la la la la la

Someday
You will get the best of me
Oh someday
Probably when I'm old and grey
I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now

I'm lying in my bed
And I will soon be put to rest now (Ooh ooh) [x2]
Sha la la la la la la la

Flowers are nice, flowers are pretty
So I took a ride away from the city
Stories I'd heard of mystery and magic
Traveling caravans left me enchanted

With rivers of sun glow just beyond the plateau
I followed them down to the well
There are your wishes there are your dreams
In shimmering fields of gold

A mystical mistress in the forest of night
Knew that I'd come from city lights
Shimmering fields but of course my dear
Shimmering fields of gold

Many have followed the footsteps you're on
Good to know I'm not alone
la da da da da da
la da da da da da

Shimmering straight ahead I see
Shimmering fields of gold
All you could wish for and all you could dream
Shimmering fields of gold
