I’m going for the good life,
I’ve got to get away,
I’m going for the good life,
Nothing can make me stay,
I’ve seen dreams of green and yellow,
I watched them burn,
I’ve watched them mellow.

And I know when I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life.

I’m going for the good life,
Gonna get me out of here,
I’m going for the good life,
Oh I ain’t got no fear,
I’ve been yearning for some new learning,
I got this feeling,
That I’m no longer dreaming.

Cos I know when I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life.

These wings can’t stop flying,
See that break in the cloud,
Has got me feeling proud,
I found a place I got to get high in,
I’m doing everything I should,
I know that this has got to be good.

Now I know that I’m,
About to take flight,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life,
I’m going for the good life.

Weather man,
Up in the sky,
Do you float or do you fly?
Gold and grey - you look so strong,
Mighty,
But never there for long.

Weather man,
Towering tall,
A countenance to rule us all,
A slice of hope, a glimmer of heaven,
Angels inside,
Won’t you let down a rope?

Weather man,
In your bed of blue,
May I climb up and be with you?
Wish I could steal a little thunder,
And get out from under,
The might of your hand.

Weather man,
Do you cry?
Silver teardrops tumble by,
Bless us now with one more kiss,
Then strike me down,
As you turn the skies around.

When you remember this song,
I’ll be long gone,
But I’m not leaving you today.

You may shed a tear,
To find that I’m not here,
But I’m not leaving you today.

The hands of fate,
Have left me running late,
When I should be on my way.

And though in my heart,
I am ready to depart,
I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today.

I’ve been steady as a rock,
Just sitting on the dock,
So I’m not leaving you today.

Well I know that I will cry,
When it’s time to say goodbye,
But I’m not leaving you today.

So please don’t fear,
As the day draws near,
We’ll watch the tide roll away.

For there will always be a spark,
However far apart,
And I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today.

I’m not leaving you,
I’m not leaving you,
I’m not leaving you today.

Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Got to dance til the morning light,
Old midnight come a teasing,
And we always been tight,
She make time stand still,
Drinking whiskey,
Like the fool on the hill,
Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
I’m leaving -
Goodnight.

Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Put that laughter on my tab,
Bartender, please remember,
The good times that we had,
Oh there’s a rhythm in the air,
Full of wisdom,
And a little devil may care,
Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
I’m leaving -
Goodnight.

Well there’s a rhythm in the air,
Full of wisdom,
And a little devil may care,
Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Yeah goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Mmm goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
I’m leaving -
Goodnight.

There I go,
Saying no,
When I wish I could stay,
Why so slow?
Guess I know,
That it's going that way,
With so many boys and girls to keep me company,
I may play til break of day,
But one thing I still see.

That sweet smile,
All the while,
Hasn’t faded a touch,
And that laugh,
Somewhat daft,
Is still never too much.

Anyway,
I always say,
At the end of the day,
It’s time to get pretty in pink,
Before we put it to bed,
Let’s have another drink.

I’ve seen shots and I’ve seen stars,
And I’ve seen hurricanes,
But despite these dizzy heights,
One thing remains the same.

That sweet smile,
All the while,
Hasn’t faded a touch,
And that laugh,
Somewhat daft,
Is still never too much.

Anyway,
I always say,
At the end of the day,
It’s time to get pretty in pink,
Before we put it to bed,
Let’s have another,
Oh honey -
How about another?
Put it to bed,
Let’s have another drink.

My heart is a suitcase,
Waiting to be packed,
My cares,
Are everywhere,
My hopes are sitting in the corner,
Waiting for the day,
A dream wanders over.

Cos I’m on a ticket I can’t get off,
It could be heaven, it could be hell,
But when I feel like it’s time to stop,
I’ll be standing up ringing the bell.

Gonna throw in all my thoughts and all my feelings,
Zip it up, tie the tag,
Check it in, wait and see,
If it gets there,
Guess I know,
That’s my bag.

My mind is a clutter,
I can’t clear up,
Too many choices in the way,
I stumble with all the best intention,
So open to,
A good suggestion.

Cos I’m on a ticket I can’t get off,
It could be heaven, it could be hell,
But when I feel like it’s time to stop,
I’ll be standing up ringing the bell.

Gonna throw in all my thoughts and all my feelings,
Zip it up, tie the tag,
Check it in, wait and see,
If it gets there,
Guess I know,
That’s my bag.

I can hear you say,
Say that it’s over now,
Somehow now it’s the end,
But I can’t pretend,
Pretend that we’ll be free,
Of memories my friend.

A bittersweet story,
Can only be,
A reason to depend,
On what we patiently,
Keep believing,
And I can see.

The day is gonna come,
Our song will have been sung,
But we will find the sun,
Yes, we will find the sun again.

S’been a long, long day,
Maybe the next time round,
We’ll have found a way,
To keep the storm away,
Maybe that big old cloud,
Won’t get around anymore.

And if our hearts are worn,
Our compass torn,
By currents out in the air,
We’ll find a place where we,
Can keep believing,
I see where.

The day is gonna come,
Our song will have been sung,
But we will find the sun,
Yes, we will find the sun again.

Oh, we will find the sun,
Yes, we will find the sun,
Oh, we will find the sun,
Yes, we will find the sun again.

I remember,
The afternoons of make believe and
Music,
Oh how we’d sing and shout!
And I’m wondering,
How long before we’ll all be leaving,
Every time that I’m in your house.

I can hear it,
The symphony of pots and pans and
Father,
As quiet as a mouse,
Please forgive me,
The way that I still clitter clatter,
Every time that I’m in your house.

Guess it’s only,
Another four walls and a staircase,
I know,
It’s time that I got out,
But Mother,
Your voice is in the walls of this place,
Every time that I’m in your house.

I get lost,
On Memory Lane,
That old street,
Always the same,
Every time I’m passing by the place is ageing,
But it takes me back -
In time I travel,
Down that road my mind unravels,
Til I am lost,
On Memory Lane,
Finding myself again.

Too many journeys to remember,
Déjà vu is nothing new,
It could be summer or December,
Though I know where I am,
Guess I never looked hard,
At the back of my hand.

That’s why I’m lost,
On Memory Lane,
Trying to ignite,
Some old flame,
Every time I’m passing by the place keeps ageing,
Oh, but it takes me back -
In time I travel,
Down that road my mind unravels,
Til I am lost,
On Memory Lane,
Just finding myself,
Yeah I’m just finding myself,
I don’t need nobody else,
Gonna go find myself,
Find myself on Memory Lane.

First light in Mendoza,
I felt a little closer,
When I called you on a telephone card,
I was danced off my feet,
I had nowhere to sleep,
The pisco had left me off guard.

And the tears fell like rain,
Rolling across the plain,
Wind calling your name,
In the Plaza Independencia,
At the sunrise you were there,
In the breeze I swear,
I could see your hair,
Floating across the square.

I was lost with the lingo,
Well, call me a gringo,
Sin encanto por señoritas,
The quiet of dawn,
Had me feeling forlorn,
Somewhere they were playing guitars.

And the tears fell like rain,
Rolling across the plain,
Wind calling your name,
In the Plaza Independencia,
At the sunrise you were there,
In the breeze I swear,
I could see your hair,
Floating across the square.
